Show HN: KnifeGeek – Online Database of Pocket Knives Hey HN! About a year ago i stumbled upon the world of swords, knives, and EDC gear. A weirdly addicting (and expensive) hobby to have. Back then i noticed something, it was quite tedious to easily sift and search through knives based on length, steel, brand, and what not to find the knife for me. There were some great youtube channels that helped me pick out what i wanted however i had to sit through multiple 30 minute videos just to review 10-15 knives or so each. Recently i've been having a little trouble sleeping so i decided to pickup a new passion project to work on late at night, here's KnifeGeek! it's a completely free website where you can search, filter, and sift through an extensive knife database (over 60K+ knives) and add them to your collection or wishlist. You do need to sign in to add stuff to your wishlist or collection and after a bunch of advanced searches. Please check it out and let me know if you thi...

The doctor in question is a plastic surgeon and needs to stand for long hours to perform surgery, therefore, the injury led to heavy financial loss. His lawyer said, "He can now walk,...

The idea of New York in wintertime conjures up images of Manhattan's Times Square and Central Park shrouded in snow. Not this year. The city is forecast Sunday to surpass a 50-year record for the latest first snowfall of the season. It is also close to recording its highest number of consecutive days without any measurable flakes. The snowless streak has New Yorkers puzzled, some questioning their love-hate relationship with the white stuff. "It's really sad," said retired teacher Anne Hansen. "Basically, we don't like to see the snow. But now we're sorely missing it," she told AFP. The Big Apple usually gets its first dusting around mid-December. Last season it arrived on Christmas Eve.

Alleging that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre shows step-motherly treatment towards Telangana, ruling BRS leader and Telangana IT and Industries Minister K T Rama Rao claimed his party is ready for early polls if the BJP dissolves the Lok Sabha, showing its willingness for early elections.

Current features are txt2img, img2img, inpaint, outpaint, an image gallery, an editable huggingface model db, sprite mode (for easy pixel sprite creation - the whole reason I started the app in the first place) an infinite canvas for outpainting and more.

Show HN: A tool to design and run user state machines Hi everyone, I’m Joe, CTO at Dopt. We’re building a tool that lets you design user state machines with an SDK so that you can run them in your product. We offer a React SDK that lets you create instances of those machines for any user of your product and exposes methods for transitioning the state of the user—effectively moving them through the machine. Dopt then acts as a persistence layer for the users’ machine state. We call our machines “flows”. Dopt lets you send in data about your users (identify calls/properties) and lets non-devs define rules based on that data for which users should enter the flows. Non-devs can also update content and other custom properties that can be referenced via the SDK. For example, with Dopt’s SDK you can build: - a multi-step, interactive product walkthrough that helps users learn how to use a product by using it ( https://ift.tt/IakbY5V ) -a getting started checklist that helps a team get setup a...

Thailand's Maeklong Railway Station in Samut Songkhram province is a tourist attraction. The station has Rom Hup Market which literally sits on the railway track.

It is a common fresh market selling seafood, vegetable, fruits, fresh and dried food, meats and other miscellaneous goods. The market is called the 'life-risking' market because its stalls are attached to the Mae Klong-Ban Laem railway, which is a short railway line running from and to Mahachai and Mae Klong. Vendors at the market put out parasols or canvases to protect themselves against the sun. The shelters stick into the railway where visitors walk and do their shopping.

Show HN: LowEndInsight – a “bus-factor” risk analysis tool What began as a pet-project a few years back, an a start to learning functional programming with Elixir, turned into a bit of a research effort for CS students. I'd asked them what info could they glean from a git repository, specifically about the risks associated with using it (or becoming dependent on it). The focus quickly arrived at "bus factor" - what happens when the main developer moves on. From there we started thinking about other metrics and a couple stood out - mainly the distribution of contributions, and the obvious commit currency time. The initial research was focused on library packages from the main ecosystems - e.g., Javascript's NPM and Python's PyPI. We quickly found that to be a massive challenge - at the time neither required packages to provide a valid URL pointing to their source code. This itself was an indicator of something.

Police were involved in a stand-off with the man they believe was responsible for killing 10 people in a mass shooting during Lunar New Year celebrations in California, media reports said Sunday. Aerial footage showed a white transit van hemmed in by two armored police vehicles, while a large number of police cars stood nearby in Torrance, south of Los Angeles. The development came as Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department released images of the man they are looking for. Images, apparently from surveillance cameras, show an Asian man wearing a beanie hat and glasses.

India captain Harmanpreet Singh confessed that he is struggling to convert the penalty strokes while addressing a media briefing after the hosts lost to New Zealand in the crossover on Sunday. The drag-flicker talked about his form at the Hockey World Cup, saying that he has been trying really hard, without any success to convert the chances offered in the form of penalty corners.

Describing his failed attempt during the penalty shootout, he said, "My mindset was to score the goal going into the sudden-death shootout. We could have sealed the match there. We tried hard but unfortunately failed to convert." Head coach Graham Reid PC also underlined the team's inability to convert the penalty corner but also highlighted the missed chance during circle penetrations. "Obviously, corner co...

The crowning of Britain's King Charles III this May will be celebrated with traditional processions, a concert at Windsor Castle, street parties, light shows and community volunteering, Buckingham Palace announced on Saturday. Charles, 74, automatically became king on the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth last September. The grand coronation ceremony for him and his wife Camilla will take place on Saturday, May 6. The crowning, the royal family's major set piece event for 2023, has so far this year been overshadowed by the monarch's son Prince Harry's tell-all memoir in which he has made accusations against the King and other family members. Publishing details of the coronation, Buckingham Palace said Britons, who have already been given an extra bank holiday on May 8 to mark the occasion, will be able to watch the ceremonies and a special concert, plus see iconic buildings lit up with projections, lasers and drone displays. "Their Majesties The King and The ...

Show HN: Smoosh – A Blazing Fast, Bit-Oriented Serializer Hi all! So a few weeks ago I decided to write a low latency serializer. That meant being very careful about runtime costs and the size of the resulting byte array (packet fragmentation limits).

Looking forward to hearing your feedback! https://ift.tt/vd6JSeP January 21, 2023 at 06:17PM
